How to Gain Selvadoradian Culture
Since this entire skill is about the world of Selvadorada you, obviously, need to be in that world to start learning about their culture.
To get to this world you’ll want to go to your sim’s phone click travel > take vacation and choose to go to Selvadorada and pick a vacation rental for however long you want.
You’ll choose any of the rentals and choose how long to stay. Then you can start adventuring around the world and gaining this skill.
The first way you can gain this skill is through eating and drinking local cuisine. You can find a cute little food stall outside of the Cantina (located in the bottom right neighbourhood) where you can get drinks and food to eat.
Your sim will gain the skill anytime they eat or drink anything from this stall. Plus, your sims will learn how to cook these recipes after they try them for the first time!
